Greg's older brother from Hoboken, NJ who often helps Chris and Alex. He is mainly prominent in the second season.

When Chris and Alex face execution by the Order, he came to their rescue.

Daniel Shipman believes he is the identity of Kind von der Ritter.

Season 1 of Dark Harvest ran from November 26, 2010 to August 30, 2011. It chronicled Chris and Alex's first encounters with Kind von der Ritter and Gorr'Rylaehotep, their discovery of cult activity in New Jersey, and their investigation on their friend Greg's homicide, which is left unresolved.

Season 2 of Dark Harvest ran from October 28, 2011 to May 20, 2013. It chronicled Chris and Alex's continued investigation of Greg's homicide, with the help of his older brother Jeff. The two soon become targets of the Order who deem them threats to their goal. Chris and Alex also meet Heather McComber, the granddaughter of Marc McComber, and learn more on the latter's background.

Starting on December 13, 2010, entries on the primary channel began to receive frequent response videos from a channel titled KindVonDerRitter, who was confirmed to be Chris and Alex's stalker. These videos contain strange imagery and cryptic messages that Chris and Alex used as leads in their investigations.

As of January 3, 2013, the channel has posted 9 (originally 10) response videos.

Dark Harvest has received predominantly favorable responses from the Slenderverse community and general YouTube audiences, acquiring a cult fandom and being considered an underrated Slender Man serial compared to Marble Hornets, Tribe Twelve, and EverymanHYBRID. Praise has been directed towards its smart and edgier approach to the Slender Man mythos and realistic performances by the cast, however it has met criticism amongst viewers for its overuse of strong language, long gaps between uploads, rash decision making amongst the characters, and over-reliance on betrayal as a plot device.

Alex's decision to abandon Noah Maxwell at a beach at the end in Log Entry 25 was met with mostly negative reactions, with viewers claiming that Alex overreacted and could have at least driven him to a safer and more resourceful location.

The massacre portrayed in Log Entry 32 received a polarized reaction. Some viewers expressed disapproval over the fact that Chris and Alex would kill helpless people who had pleaded for mercy, while others viewed the actions as morally justified on the basis that the Order killed their parents and also had plans in motion to kill other people, as described in Log Entry 29, and that they were discussing them prior to noticing Chris and Alex's arrival.
